DESCRIPTION OF HEW
STEAMER FOR GOOS BAY
Thousand Tons Register and Nearly
' , a 'Thousand Rorsepower One
,' . .of the Finest of Her Class
(New Orleans Picayune, Jan. 13.)
rr. . (Hy Ccurlciy oithoNewf)
The American steamship U.f.Lwnlor,
or'lho United Fruit Company Line, was
2?41 i estct day afternoon to the Sprcckcls,
of San Francisco, ami in a few days sl.o
will begin tlio long journey through the
Klraits of Magellan and around into the
Pacific Ocean, aud up the coast to her
futuro port.
The llrcakwater was built by John
Konoh A. Son?, at Chester, Pa., In 1SP0,
, undoer sinco she has been running
Out of this port in the fruit trade of Cen
tral America. Nearly all these 14 years
she' has carried the mails between the
1'nitcd States and ports of Spanish Hon
duras, Guatemala nnd Uritish Honduras
and has always been looked upon as tl-o
mostlpopulnr ship of the line. Hcing of
American construction, every attention
was paid to the comfort of the passen
gcrs.nnd crew, and thero is no ship in
the tropical trade which is belter and
more comfortably equipped. For a yos
tel of her size she is a rctuarkablo carrier,
biie measures 210 feet on the water line,
SO feet beam, and has a depth of hold of
10.3 feet.
' Sho was designed and built for tho
coast trapo of tho North, but was exactly
tiuited for the service of the lloyal Mail
Line, which bought her, and she ban
since pcrformod excellent sorvico Tor the
I'nited Fruit Company.
About two years ago she was com
pletely overhauled, and in placo of coal
bunkers, oil tanks were installed, and
(he ship becamo the first oil burner run
ning out of this port. The use of oil
proved a complete success, the ship mnk
iug better time at a much smaller cost
until tho oil market began to climb.
' For some time she has been on the big
dock at the Naval Station, aud tho oil
tanks have been transformed into bunk
ers again, tho oil burners removed from
(he fire boxes, and all arrangements are
icing completed for tho re-establishment
of the coal service. A now wheel is also
bciug put on in placo of the oil propel
ler. , Tho Breakwater has triple expansion
Engines of 010 indicated horsepowor, is
1,005 tons gross and is built of iron
plates,!
When the Breakwater was hauled up
a couplo of years ago and oil burners es
tablished, tho United Fruit Company
$peut $123,000 on improvements, making
the ship as good as now.
, During tho war of 1S9S tho United
States Government took tho Breakwater
qs a transppr, and she was louo of the
fleet ships which carried tho soldiers out
of Tampa round to tho south coast of
Cuba. Sho was then under command of
Captainjltlvara, who commanded the
thip for a good many years.
During tho years of service in tho
tropical trado tho faithful .vessel has
eon some very lively times, but has
weathered every blow in great shape,
iaving but ono accident, and that was
when sho broke her shaft aud was
compelled to look for safety under tho
Ice of tho islauda off the coast of Yuca
tan. Mr. Samuels, manager for the Sprock
et Lines, arrived in the city a few dayB
ago with Captain Seaman, aud yesterday
ifmmnrm theso two eenllcmcu undo a
careful inspection of tho ship. They
yfero perfectly satisfied with her general
condition, nnd tho deal was promptly
closed. The closing of this deal rested
upon the condiiiou of tho ship itself,
lor tho matter of price and tonnage of
the vessel were perfectly satisfactory.
Captain Seaman will lako charge of
the Breakwater at ouco, and the mark of
tho United Fruit Company will ho re
moved from tho emokestack forever.
'just as soon as tho now wheel has been
ptted the Breakwater will bo coaled and
Stocked up for tho long voyngo, This
voyago will lake about sixty days to
complete, and many of the old crew will
ftccompany tho ship around tho Horn,
and thon icturn ovprland to resume
thoir service with the. Company. Cup

Of tho line,

"Well, put her nt four, thou," agreed
Thorpe. "That makes your aw loirs
worth over S20.000. Of this value Bad
way added ?Ut,000. You lmvo nppro
prlnted that much of his without pay ,
iur niui ono cent.
Daly seemed nmusod. "How nbout
tho million aud n half feet of ours ho
appropriated?" ho asked quietly.
"I'm comltiR to that. Now for your
losses. At thu stutntmgo rnto your
million nnd u half -which Radwny 'ap
propriated' would be only three thou
sand. But for tho sake of argument
we'll take, tho actual buui you'd hnvo
recelveil for saw logs. Eveu then tho
million nnd a half would only huvo
lieeu worth between eight and uluo
thousand. Detluctinp thin purely theo
retical lost Railway has occasioned
you from tho amount ho has gained
for you, you nro still sorno four or flvo
thousand ahead of tho game. Tor that
you paid him nothing."
"That's Radwaj-'a lookout"
"In Justice you should pay him that
nmount. He Is n poor innu. Ho has
sunk all ho owned in thin venture,
some $12,000, nnd ho has nothing to
live on. Even If you pay him flvo thou
sand, ho has lost considerably whllo
you have gained."
, "How havo wo gained by this bit of
philanthropy?"
"Because you originally paid In cash
for all that timber on the stump Just
$10,000, nnd you get from Railway saw
logs to tho vnluu of $20,000," replied
Thorpe sharply- "Besides, you hUH
own tho million nnd n half which, If
you do not care to put theru In your
self, you can sell for something on tho
skids."
"Don't you know, young man, that
white, pine logs on Bklds will Hpotl ut

"I do," replied Thorpe, "unless you
bark them, which process will cost you
nbout $1 n thousand. You can find
any nmount of small purchasers at re
duced price. You can sell thcra easily
nt $3. That nets you for your million
nnd a half n little over $1,000 more.
Under the clrcuinHtnnccfl I do not think

Daly laughed. "You aro n shrowd

"Oh, but you'ro fanned and and big I"
"Will you give $0,0007" asked Thorpe,
"I will not," replied Daly; then, with

Hi
Wftoart Edtuard Whit
you frimi tho drop of tho hat tnrougn

"right ahead," advised Daly sweetly,
who knew perfectly well that Thotpu's
law was faulty. As u matter of fact,
tho young mint could have collected
on other grounds, but neither was
nwnro of that.
"Furthermore," pursued Thorpo in
addition, "I'll repeat my offer before
witnesses, and If I win the first tutlt
111 silo you for tho money wo could
hnvo made by purchasing the extra
million nud n half before It had it
chance to Fpull."
This statement hnd Us effect, for It
forced nit Immediate settlement before
the pine on the skldi should deteriorate.
Daly lounged hack with n little more
deadly carelessness.
"And, lastly," concluded Thorpe, play
ing his trump card, "thu suit from
Mart to finish will bo published In ov
er' luiportnnt paper In this country.
If you do not believe I havo tho In
tlueuco to do tlds you nro at liberty to
doubt the fact."
Daly was cogltaUng ninny things.
Ho knew that publicity was tho last
thing to ho desired. Thorpe's state
ment had been made In view of the
fact that much of the business of n
lumber linn Is douo on credit. Ho
thought that perhaps n rumor of n big
suit going ngalust thu firm might
weaken confidence. As n matter of
fnct, thts consideration hnd no weight
whatever with the older man, although
tho threat of publicity actually gained
for Thorpe what ho demanded. Thu
lumberman feared tho noise of nn In
vcstlrotlon solely nnd simply because
his tiriu, llko so many others, was en
gaged nt the tlmo In stealing govern
ment timber In the upper peninsula.
He did not call It stealing, but that
wns what It amounted to. Thorpe's
shot In the nlr hit full.
"I think we can, arrange n basis of
settlement," ho snijl finally. "Ho here
tomorrow morning tit 10 with Rad
way." "Very well." said Thorpe.
"Ry the way," remarked Daly, "I
don't beltovo I know your name."
"Thorpe," was the reply.
"Well, Mr. Thorpe," said tho lum
berman, with cold anger, "If at any
time there Is anything wlthlff my pow
er or influenco that you want I'll Bee
that you don't get It."
Tho whole affair was finally compro
mised for ?U,000. Railway, grateful
beyond expression, Insisted on Thorpe's
ucccptunco of n n even thousand, nnd
with this money In hand tbo Intter felt
Justified in tnklng n vncatlon for tho
purpose of visiting his sister.
For tho purposes ho had in view
$500 would bo none too much. Tho re
maining $500 tic had resolved to Invest
lu his sister's comfort and happiness.
Ho hnd thought the matter over nnd
hnd gradually evolved what seemed to
him nn excellent plnn. Ho had already
perfected It by correspondence with
Mrs. Rcnwlck. It wns, brleUy, this: He,
Thorpo, would at once hire n servant
girl, who would mnko anything but su
pervision unnecessary lu so small a
household. Tho remainder of tho motl
ey ho hnd already paid for a year's
tuition In tho seminary of tho town.
Thus Helen gained her leisure nnd an
opportunity for study and still retain
ed her homo In case of reverse.
Thorpo found his sister already a
oung lady. After tho first delight of
meeting had pnsHed they sat sldo by
side on tho haircloth sofa nud took
stock of each other.
Helen liau uovelopcu rroin tlio hciiooi
Child to tho woman. Sho was n hand

rounded form and deep hazel eyes, with
tho level gazo of her brother, although
u flguro rather aloof, a face rather Im
passive, but with tho possibility of pas
sion and emotion and n will to back
them.
"Oh, but you'rn tunned nud nnd
blgj" sho cried, kissing her brother.
"You've had such n strango winter,
haven't you?"
"Yes," ho replied absently. "Things
enmo n llttlo better than I thought they
wero going to towiwd tho last, and I
mado a llttfo money."
"pit, I'm up glad!" she cried. "Was It
much?"
"No, not- much," ho answered. The
actual figures would havo boon so
much bolter. "I'vo mndo arrangements
with Mrs. Renwlclc to hire n servant
girl, no you will hilvo all your tlmo fiee,
nnd I've paid a year's tultloit for you
lu tho seminary."
"Oh," said tho girl, nnd fell blleiit.. '
After n time, "Th-ink you very much,

' "Ob, whv dldji't ho mt what ho was

didn't ho? Why didn't ho?"
Tho dnys, however, passed In tho
tnu In plensurnbly for them both. They
wero fond of ono niiothor, Tho bar
rier slowly rising between them wan
not yet cemented by lack of affection
on either side, hut rather by lack of
belief n tho other's nftcotloti. Helen
Imagined Thorpe's Interest lu her bo
coming dally pioru perfunctory. Thorpo
fancied his sister cold, unreasoning
nud ungrateful, Aud yet this was hut
tho vague dust of a cloud. They
could not forgot that hut for ench other
they wero alone lu tho world. Thorpo
delayed his depiuturo from day to day,
making nil tho prepiitntlous ho possi
bly could nt home.
KlunUy Helen canio on him busily

struck by tho beauty of tho sporting
Implements.
"Oh, Hrtrryl" sho cried. "Aren't they
fino? What nro you going to do with
them?"
"Going camping," replied Thorpe,
with his head In excelsior.
"When?"
"This summer."
Helen's eyes lit up with n llro of do-
itght. "How nice! May I go with
fou?" sho cried.
Thorpo shook his head.
"I'm afraid not, little girl. It's go
ing to ho n hard trip n long ways from
anywhere. You couldn't stand It."
"I'm sure I could. Try me."
"No," .replied Thorpo. "1 know you
couldn't. Wo'll bo sleeping on the
ground nnd going on foot through
much extremely uimctiit mutiny.
"I wish you'd take tuo somewhere."
pursued Helen. "I can't get nwny this
summer unless jou do. Why don't you
camp somewhere nearer home, so I can
go?V
Thorpo nroso and kissed her tenderly,
"t can't, llttlo girl; that's nil. We'vo
not our way to mnke."
Sho understood thnt ho considered
tho trip too expensive for thorn lwth.
At this iiioinont a paper fluttered from
tho excelsior. Shu picked It up. A
glance showed her a total of figures
that mndo her gnsp.
"Hero Is your bill," sho said, with n
strango choke In her voice, nnd left tho
room.
"Ho can spend $(10 on his old guns,
but he can't nfi'ord to let mo leave this

apple tree. "Ho can go way off camp

Three duys later Thorpe left for tho

GRANGER'S ISLAND
(Copyright, WH. by C. U. Lwtfi.
I hnd been sent to a hospital nt
Blngnporo with fever, and upon con
valescing and whllo looking for anoth
er berth as innto I ran across an Amer
ican named Granger. Ho hnd been, ac
cording to his statements, n pasHcnger
on n vessel cast away In the China sea,
and nil hands had been lost snvo him
self. A part of tho Island wns sterile nnd
rocky, nud nmld tho rocks ho one day
found n plrute's cave. There wero, ho
contended lu tho most earnest way,
thousands of pieces of silk and other
costly goods, boxes of pearls, chests of
Jewelry aud kegs of coin. He roughly
estimated hi find to be worth $'-',000,-000.
What tho American wanted was to
charter n ship to fetch awny tho treas
ure, and when ho learned thnt I wns a
navigator lie made mo nu offer thnt I
closed with at once. The man seemed
to hnvo plonty of money, nud lu the
courso of n week he got hold of a
schoonor which was for charter, nnd
ten dnya Inter sho had been fitted out
for tho voyngo.
Wo cleared for n port lu Japan nnd
got nwny with n fair wind, and dur
ing tho two weekn It took us to work
up to tho locality of Grniigor's Island
all went well with us. Ho had located
tlio placo. on tho chart no being nbout
fifty miles to tho enst of the Island of
Hainan.
Granger hnd been swept ashore nt
night Ho had lnndod. on ono sldo of
tho island nnd been taken off on tho
other. Ho claimed to remember cer
tain landmarks, however, und for ten
days wo threaded tho channols of the
Islands, nud ho took a close look at
every ono. It was on tho twelfth day
of our senrch thnt wo camo to his
Island, nud the finding of It gnvo us nlj
a queer 'feeling. There wore no hucJi
landmarks us Ho described, nor wa'J
tho lay of tho hind at 'fill nccordlng
to his drawings. It was a totally dif
ferent Island in slzo nud nppenranco,
dud yet ho stoutly maintained that It
tyus tho ono wo had couio lu search
6'f, aud that thoro could bo no mis
take. Wo carried doop water to wJthln
half a wtlp of 1leb(th,Mind tjicn tlio
schooner was anchored,, ,and w;q 'pulled
ashoro lu tho yawl. ' I
Wo landed ..oa. ft aod -botch. ..and.
(It-mmer" Mended inio the forest Without
hesitation. After walking for lmlf iui(
hour ho snld thnt ho recognlxod cortnln
landmarks, nud that tho ttousuro wum
not far away. Presently ho remarked
that something hnd worked Into his
shoe, and, tolling us to keep right on
till wo reached tlio rocks, ho sat down
and began unlacing his shoo, Wo loft
him behind lu a moment, as tho hushes,
wero thick, and though wo walkod for
half n mllo wu found no rocks. In go
ing a distance of less than n mtlo'wit
struck the other shorn.
Granger had not yet Joined us, tuitl'
after wnltlug fifteen minutes I went
ono of thu men hack to ascertain thu
cause of tho delay. Falling to find thu
man, tho sailor kept on to tho buacli
nnd then returned to us with thv.ntt.
houueomcut that tho yawl Was inlssbig
aii my HiiHpicioiiH wero now nronwu,
nud wo broke Into a run as wu mndo
for tho spot where the boat had bvm
beached nnd left to euro for herself.
Wo got to tho shore to see her along
side tho anchored schooner. Two menu
had been loft nboard, ami ns wo stoixl"
there wo saw Granger drive them Into'
tho ynwl at tho point of a pistol und!,
command them to row for tho shore.
We yelled and shouted and demanded'
explanations, but ho guvu nil uu lit
teutlou whatever.
Well, thero wo woru, eight of us,
ashore on a small iHlnnd nnd uu liiMint
ninn lu possession of tlio schooner,, Ho
hnd firearms, and wo had only out
knives. It would hnvo been no trie nt
nil to go off to him lu tho bout, but'
with his pistols ho could havo Bitot
every one of us before n mail could,
hnvo reached tho deck.
Granger's conduct showed thnt ho
was out of his mind. Ho could not run
away with tho craft, hut wlmt wo fwir
cd wns that ho would scuttlo her or set
her on fire. Wo made our beds on tho
snmls that night and slept soundly,
enough, and when morning anno und
Granger still refused to answer our
halls we mndo up our inlinU that souio
thing must bo douo bvfovu N day was.
out.
After two or threo hours of watching
on our part nnd having seott no stir
aboard ono of the men climbed a paint
true nnd from a height of fifty feet got
a fair view of the schooner's deck.
Nothing wns to bo seen of Granger.,
Ho might be watching tm from tho
gnlley or tho cabin, but we must tuku.
our chances of that.
It Mas soon nfter noon thnt wo, nil
got Into tho boat to scull quietly down
on the nnchored craft, each innu bolnc
armed with n club. Had ho nppeuri.it
wu wero prepared to put back nt otliv,
but fo6t by foot we approached thv
schooner without uuy nhiriit, and at
length wo were alongside. I'lvo min
utes nfter getting nboard wo found
him hanging by the neck lu tho cnblu.i
nud the statu of the body proved UiaC
he hnd been dead for hours.
Who was Granger? Ho had paid n
round prlco to charter the vessel, nnd'
yet ho had come on n fool's errnnd.
Ho could never have been wreckad oh
ho stated, and thero was no trcrisuro
house. Why did he tell surh a yarn?
Wo know thnt ho hnd been n sen- enp
tnlu, and the only explanation of his
strnngo conduct wns to believe thnt ho,
hnd gone treasure mud. '
